Imagine trying to design machines that will last forever, regardless of use or destination. Instead of those machines requiring a steady stream of spare parts (essentially impossible for space probes ...
Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) are made by reinforcing a polymer-based matrix with glass, carbon, or aramid fibers. PMCs are classified into thermosetting and thermoplastic resins based on the type ...
The researchers estimate their self-healing strategy can extend the lifetime of conventional fibre-reinforced composite materials by centuries compared to the current decades-long design-life. “This ...
Polymers are complex materials with flexible forms, widely varied compositions, and properties that change as the polymers interact with their environment over time. Structurally, polymers are large ...
Market valued at $52.60B in 2024, projected 8.82% CAGR growth driven by EV lightweighting, aerospace efficiency, wind ...

The journey towards circular high-performance composites begins with one core question: why redesign an already mature class of materials? To set the scene, we asked the consortium to describe the ...
Composites are heterogeneous materials made of several distinct constituents bonded together, giving rise to better properties. These constituents are generally divided into two main categories: ...
A polymer, functionalized carbon fibers and a crosslinker are mixed and cured. The components can be retrieved by addition of an alcohol, pinacol. In a win for chemistry, inventors at the Department ...
